I've had this before, as a seller had been messed about loads he still listed the car on eBay as a back up to my collection.
I still bought the car and the seller was just out of pocket the listing fee.Current Fleet.

I'm not buying this one, it was just an experience I had with the same sort of thing buying a different car.
It's local enough but I have way too many projects on the go at the moment to consider another.Current Fleet.

It made a fair price for an untested car.
going to need at least that again to make it right.
After spending some time looking over the pictures, it will at least need the following.
Passenger wing
Passenger rear arch.
Paint to passenger doors (scuffed)
Possible replacement drivers door (looks to be going in back corner)
Possible drivers rear arch.
Various paint rectification in other area's.
Head Liner etc.
For such a rare model, it would be worth the new owners while to do it, but we shall have to see.

Saved £135 from my original offer!
Not seen it in the flesh, so hopefully it isn't too bad. I see a lot of potential though and paintwork etc isn't something I'm bothered about, if it needs paint it needs paint. I'm afraid I do have some subtle upgrades in mind but nothing irreversible. Saying that I don't have any plans to sell it back on for a good few years so will be more of an evolving project. And it leaves money in the kitty to still send my van to SPL

Just finalising collection, hoping my recovery guy can pick me a metro van up along the way haha!
Really itching to get my hands on, though I'm about to transfer more than twice what I paid for the car for some new wheels for it so it's already chewing it's way through my account :/
